The physical fitness program inaugurated several semesters ago is conducted outdoors dur- ing the fine weather of the fall months. During inclement weather, the classes move into the school corridors and health education rooms, and there under the competent guidance of the health instructors, students can be seen executing the connnands to the tune of One, two, three, four,- one, two, three, four, Boxing, tumbling and combative games are also part of the program. ln addition to the health program for all, com- petitive sports have been maintained. Pershing had the best cross country team in the history of the school, taking the East League championship and placing third in the city meet. With two Vet- erans from last year, the golf team under the guid- ance of Coach Kolodziejski finished third in the city. This is the best Pershing has done in the past tive years. The reserve football team, coached by Mr. Kol- odzieislci iinished the season with four victories against one defeat. We can truly say that Per- shing has had one of the best allearound athletic seasons for many years. FS-.,.,,,,

GMU' Span!! The girls' golf team resumed play this fall after the summer vacation. New additions to the team were Marilyn McGee, lulia Alcini, and Shirley Dempsey. Bodil Ree and Eileen Swanson, the only two players of the spring team, returned eager to take part in the fall sport. They received letters for golf. The fall sports were well attended this year with over 35 girls participating in field hockey and a large number in golf. Many girls were awarded letters for their outstand- ing ability in one of these sports. Among those who received letters for field hockey are Minnie Allison, Charlotte Chomis, Martha Hass, Pauline Legg, Sophie Levonick, Marge Percival, Sally Watkins, and Lillian Zezula. L Miss Prottengeier, the new hockey coach, and Marjorie Percival, the varsity captain, turned out a splendid team this fall despite the fact that many of their players graduated last spring. ln three starts the team defeated Northeastern by a score of l-O, tied with Miller, and lost to Denby in a very close game. All the hockeyettes are looking forward to an outstanding team next fall under their new captain, Sally Watkins. qfockey
